Insights
Partnership broadens modular cooling offerings for high-density AI data centers, improving deployment speed and solution completeness.
Flex and LG combine complementary portfolios to deliver prefabricated, modular thermal solutions that pair Flex's liquid cooling, power, and IT infrastructure with LG's CRAC/CRAH, chillers, and CDUs. This creates an end-to-end product set within the Flex AI infrastructure platform that operators can size and deploy more quickly.
Key dependencies include integration of control/monitoring across vendors and supply chain readiness for prefabricated modules; these determine how rapidly customers can adopt the joint offering. Watch for product availability and commercial rollouts listed under the Flex AI platform and any customer references or pilot deployments over the next
Co-development of integrated air and liquid cooling plus CDUs addresses practical thermal separation and efficiency needs in AI racks.
Pairing LG chillers and CDUs with Flex secondary fluid networks lets facilities keep building and IT cooling fluids separate, reducing contamination risk and simplifying maintenance. The integrated approach targets reliable temperature control and energy efficiency for high-density compute.
Technical risks include validation of fluid-interface standards, site integration complexity, and demonstrated efficiency at scale; these will show up in performance data from pilots and early customer installations. Monitor technical validation results and documented deployments in the next
Complementary portfolios enable data center operators to overcome the growing power, heat, and scale challenges of the AI era
